This California wolverine needs a mate. This morning I read the article “Calif. wolverine looks in vain for a mate, nearest is 800 miles away” in USA Today, and felt bad for this wolverine.
Biologists in California spotted this wolverine in the Sierra mountains. According to the article, the species had been extinct in the state for over 90 years.
“They’re still trying to figure out how this guy got here. He would have had to cross some pretty open land in eastern wash and Oregon, which is not their habitat. We don’t know if he was somehow caught and brought here or if he wandered down on his own,” says Mark Pawlicki of Sierra Pacific Industries, on whose land the animal lives, as quoted in the article.
The closest female wolverines are 800 miles away across both the Sawtooth and Cascade mountains.
